 ===History===
 ----
-Jassira was once a client state of the great and mighty Belharan Empire, and one of its greatest exporters of slaves. The ancient sultans became wealthy and prestigious from this trade with the mighty nation, and many owned vast harems of slaves themselves. Jassiran slaves were able to withstand even the roughest of conditions, but were far more fabled for their beauty and fertility. Perhaps because of this, Jassira earned a reputation for opulence and decadence in equal measure, a shining jewel in the desert.

Jassiran slaves were able to withstand even the roughest of conditions, but were far more fabled for their beauty and fertility. Perhaps because of this, Jassira earned a reputation for opulence and decadence in equal measure, a shining jewel in the desert. Its population is overwhelmingly made up of [[Catfolk]], but there are minorities of Dust Elves and Nagas as well within the Sulatante's cities; the wild desert mountains of its border provinces are home to all manner of monsters and beast-folk, most notably [[Manticores]].
-After the Godswar came to a close and Belhar fractured, Jassira recovered relatively quickly and within a few generations became a world leader in trade once more. Though the sultanate still keeps a hand in the slave market, the nation has shifted mainly to importing slaves to serve in its temples and in the harems of its vast nobility.
+After the Godswar came to a close and Belhar fractured, Jassira recovered relatively quickly and within a few generations became a world leader in trade once more. The sultanate still keeps a hand in the slave market, though it now imports as many as it sends abroad as its borders expand ever outward. Those foreign slaves brought to the heartland from the provinces often find themselves either dedicated to the capital's great Temple of Mallach, or else in the harems of high nobility.

-Jassira is a sandy desert land with infamously hot days and blistering cold nights. It rarely rains there, and as a result there is little in the way of agriculture throughout most of the Sultanate. Lush plant-life exists on banks of rivers and oases, and the majority of the country's cities and villages are found along these life-giving rivers.

 At some point before [[Leorah]] left Jassira, the Sultana was in the process of giving out many eccentric edicts, which changed frequently (in the span of months), making it difficult to follow the ones in effect at any given time.

+*According to Savin, a real-world analogue of Jassira would be a mix of ancient Egypt and Babylon. The Sultanate conquered a region roughly analogous to the Caucuses during its expansions after the Godswar, whence comes Cait and her bloodline.

-Jassiran society is much more open than the cloistered village of [[Hawkethorne]], with topics of sensuality treated as nothing more than common street gossip. It's common for even middle class citizens to own at least one slave, most often used for household labor and childcare, and it's not uncommon to see slaves shopping for their owners at local markets. Treating ones slaves badly is seen as disrespectful, and can result in being shunned from polite society. After all, anybody can end up in chains someday...
